The following set of data was obtained by the method of initial rates for the reaction:
2 HgCl2(aq) + C2O42-(aq) → 2 Cl-(aq) + 2 CO2(g) + Hg2Cl2(s)
What is the rate law for the reaction? ![The following set of data was obtained by the method of initial rates for the reaction: 2 HgCl<sub>2</sub>(aq) + C<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup>(aq) → 2 Cl<sup>-</sup>(aq) + 2 CO<sub>2</sub>(g) + Hg<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>(s) What is the rate law for the reaction?

A) Rate = k[HgCl2][C2O42-]-2
B) Rate = k[HgCl2][C2O42-]-1
C) Rate = k[HgCl2]2[C2O42-]
D) Rate = k[HgCl2][C2O42-]2
